Was Malik Nabers hurt? WR's no-show vs Rams could've been thanks to Trent McDuffie
Two weeks in, Trent McDuffie has shown he's worth every penny -- and draft pick -- the Rams paid for him this offseason.
Malik Nabers, the New York Giants' star wide receiver, appeared to be struggling after returning from a long injury absence in their Week 2 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams bolstered their defense by acquiring cornerback Trent McDuffie, who had a significant impact on Nabers' performance. McDuffie faced Nabers 21 times, holding him without a catch on three targets and recording a crucial interception, his first in Rams uniform.
While the Giants' pass rush was a standout feature against the Rams, McDuffie's defensive play stood out, earning him praise from head coach Sean McVay.
